Harvest truly is plenteous,
but the laborers are few.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.18
Pray ye therefore,
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.74\00:00:06.17
that he will, he will send
forth laborers into his harvest.
00:00:06.18\00:00:10.32
Also, I heard the
voice of the Lord saying,
00:00:10.68\00:00:13.26
"Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?"
00:00:13.27\00:00:17.20
Then said I, "Here
am I, send me, send me."
00:00:17.78\00:00:22.72
Life on the Edge will enable you
00:00:23.54\00:00:25.26
to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.27\00:00:27.24
We now invite you
into our classroom
00:00:28.05\00:00:30.11
to come, experience Life.
00:00:30.12\00:00:33.66
We would like
to welcome you back
00:00:43.12\00:00:44.67
to the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:00:44.68\00:00:47.91
We're located here
on the beautiful campus
00:00:47.92\00:00:49.71
of Pine Lake Retreat
in Groveland, Florida.
00:00:49.72\00:00:53.31
We're glad those of you
at home could be with us.
00:00:53.97\00:00:56.21
If you were here
with us, you could go out
00:00:56.66\00:00:58.71
into the orange
groves right now.
00:00:58.72\00:01:00.57
And you could see that
on some of those trees,
00:01:00.58\00:01:02.50
there's these green balls that
will eventually become orange,
00:01:02.51\00:01:05.61
that maybe many
of you will be eating
00:01:05.62\00:01:07.07
in your own living room
while you watch this later.
00:01:07.08\00:01:09.34
But we're certainly glad
you can be here with us now.
00:01:09.35\00:01:11.33
The study that we are going
00:01:11.34\00:01:12.72
to go over today
is Daniel chapter 9.
00:01:12.73\00:01:16.19
On your screen
you will see that,
00:01:16.20\00:01:17.84
the title for this
is Daniel 9. Daniel 9.
00:01:17.85\00:01:22.16
The code for Daniel
chapter 9 is on our next slide.
00:01:22.17\00:01:26.38
And you will see there,
00:01:26.39\00:01:27.49
the study is Daniel
9 and the code is D9.
00:01:27.50\00:01:30.97
Would anybody care to
guess why the code is D9?
00:01:30.98\00:01:33.57
Because we're in Daniel
9, that's absolutely right.
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.32
The purpose of this
Bible study is to show
00:01:37.33\00:01:40.76
that Jesus of Nazareth
is the promised Messiah.
00:01:40.77\00:01:45.68
The study that
we're gonna go over today;
00:01:46.08\00:01:48.17
we're going to
take two different
00:01:48.29\00:01:49.75
program periods to do that,
00:01:49.76\00:01:51.44
two different
class periods to do that.
00:01:51.46\00:01:53.43
It's probably my most favorite
study in all the scripture,
00:01:53.75\00:01:59.33
because it delineates
not only when Christ was
00:01:59.34\00:02:03.53
going to be anointed
with the Spirit of God.
00:02:03.54\00:02:05.93
But it also talks about
00:02:05.94\00:02:07.72
when Christ was
going to be crucified.
00:02:07.73\00:02:09.91
And then Robert, the part I
love the most about it is that
00:02:09.92\00:02:13.31
it talks about when
the gospel is going to go
00:02:13.32\00:02:16.07
to the gentiles,
and I'm a gentile.
00:02:16.08\00:02:18.46
And so, this is an
exciting study for me.
00:02:18.91\00:02:21.43
I was giving the study to a lady
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.53
in Michigan, in
Farmington, Michigan.
00:02:23.54\00:02:27.34
And when we went over
this study, she said to me,
00:02:27.85\00:02:30.63
she said, when I told
her that the Shekinah Glory
00:02:30.64\00:02:33.51
was Jesus, and he
was hanging on the cross.
00:02:33.52\00:02:35.80
She said, oh, I just got
shivers up and down my spine.
00:02:36.35\00:02:38.91
It's an exciting study.
00:02:38.92\00:02:40.48
And I pray that those
of us here in this room,
00:02:40.49\00:02:43.38
and those of us
that are at home,
00:02:43.39\00:02:44.82
that we are going to learn today
00:02:44.83\00:02:46.82
that Jesus is
the promised Messiah.
00:02:46.83\00:02:50.29
We are gonna go
back to our screen now.
00:02:50.62\00:02:52.59
Our center it: Jesus
Christ is the Anointed One
00:02:52.94\00:02:58.24
prophesied about
in Daniel chapter 9.
00:02:58.25\00:03:02.72
Now Our center it,
what we have tried to do
00:03:02.73\00:03:05.86
in all of these
studies to center those studies
00:03:05.87\00:03:07.98
on Christ, is to
make sure that Christ
00:03:07.99\00:03:09.73
is presented in every doctrine,
00:03:09.74\00:03:12.11
or in every
teaching that we are doing.
00:03:12.12\00:03:14.32
When we get
finished with this study,
00:03:14.33\00:03:16.58
you will have to tell me whether
or not this focused on Christ.
00:03:16.59\00:03:19.52
I think you're gonna
be completely amazed that,
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.07
yes, this study does
indeed focus on Jesus Christ.
00:03:22.08\00:03:26.34
Not only does it focus on Him,
00:03:26.35\00:03:27.78
but it's very
much centered on Jesus.
00:03:27.79\00:03:31.13
Now just like we've had on
all of other Bible studies,
00:03:32.23\00:03:35.12
you will notice on
the screen here that
00:03:35.13\00:03:36.58
we have all of the texts listed
00:03:36.59\00:03:38.34
that we're going
to use in this study.
00:03:38.35\00:03:40.77
All of the
texts are listed there
00:03:40.78\00:03:42.58
from 1D9 all the way to 15D9.
00:03:42.59\00:03:45.07
So we have 15
texts in this study.
00:03:45.08\00:03:48.01
What you see
there on that graphic
00:03:48.02\00:03:50.07
or what you just saw on
that graphic was the texts,
00:03:50.08\00:03:52.76
were the texts that
you are going to write
00:03:52.77\00:03:54.89
on either the front or
the back of your Bible.
00:03:54.90\00:03:57.50
I'm wondering if
there is a student in here
00:03:57.51\00:03:59.13
that has lots of
those things marked
00:03:59.14\00:04:01.51
in the front or the
back of their Bible.
00:04:01.52\00:04:03.91
Anita, do you
have some marked there?
00:04:04.28\00:04:05.99
Maybe we can just
get a camera over there,
00:04:06.00\00:04:07.36
or you could it hold it up, and
just point it at this camera.
00:04:07.37\00:04:09.60
And you can see there
how we are marking these
00:04:10.00\00:04:12.74
on the front of our Bibles
or in the back of our Bibles.
00:04:12.75\00:04:15.69
Now, one of our students
just asked me a moment ago,
00:04:16.02\00:04:18.39
can we get these
presentations or these handouts
00:04:18.40\00:04:22.73
in a format that
will work on a PC?
00:04:22.74\00:04:25.85
And you certainly can.
00:04:25.86\00:04:27.76
We'll make sure that too
is available on our website
00:04:27.77\00:04:30.25
for those of you at
home that do not have
00:04:30.26\00:04:31.68
the pages presentation or the
keynotes presentation software.
00:04:31.69\00:04:35.71
You will be able to look
at those on your PC as well.
00:04:35.72\00:04:37.93
So we're gonna
right now into our study
00:04:39.52\00:04:42.33
and the first
reference in our study
00:04:42.34\00:04:44.94
or 1D9 is Daniel
chapter 9 verses 20 through 27.
00:04:44.95\00:04:49.82
Again, you'll note
how we've marked it.
00:04:50.40\00:04:51.79
1D9 is in the circle,
00:04:51.80\00:04:53.63
the line represents
the text that we're in,
00:04:53.64\00:04:56.22
and the text that
we're in is what class?
00:04:56.23\00:04:58.13
What is the text that we are in?
00:04:58.14\00:04:59.29
Daniel 9:20-27.
00:04:59.30\00:05:02.34
And then the text
we're gonna go to after that,
00:05:02.35\00:05:04.07
is still there
in Daniel chapter 9.
00:05:04.08\00:05:06.15
What we're gonna do is
we're going to read through
00:05:06.62\00:05:09.05
Daniel chapter 9
verses 20 through 27.
00:05:09.06\00:05:12.71
The reason that
we're going to read through
00:05:12.72\00:05:15.32
that is so that we can
get the overall picture
00:05:15.33\00:05:17.95
of what Daniel is
trying to say here,
00:05:17.96\00:05:20.30
or rather what
Gabriel, the angel
00:05:20.31\00:05:23.29
who came to help
Daniel understand
00:05:23.30\00:05:24.89
a previous vision
which was in Daniel 8.
00:05:24.90\00:05:27.99
We're gonna understand,
we wanna get a big picture
00:05:29.32\00:05:31.70
of what Gabriel was
explaining to Daniel.
00:05:31.71\00:05:34.71
So we're gonna
start in Daniel chapter 9
00:05:35.04\00:05:37.26
and since it's such a long
passage, if you don't mind,
00:05:37.27\00:05:39.43
I'd like to go ahead and read
that one just to begin with.
00:05:39.44\00:05:42.30
So, those of you at home,
00:05:42.31\00:05:43.94
you're turning in your Bibles
00:05:43.95\00:05:44.93
to the Old
Testament book of Daniel.
00:05:44.94\00:05:46.67
Daniel the 9th chapter
00:05:46.68\00:05:49.00
and we'll begin
reading in verse 20.
00:05:49.01\00:05:52.49
Daniel chapter 9 and
verse 20, are we all there?
00:05:52.50\00:05:54.74
The Bible says,
Daniel was writing,
00:05:55.73\00:05:59.10
and while I was
speaking, and praying,
00:05:59.11\00:06:01.89
and confessing my sin, and
the sin of my people Israel,
00:06:01.90\00:06:06.64
and presenting my supplication
before the Lord my God,
00:06:06.65\00:06:10.92
for the holy mountain of my God.
00:06:10.93\00:06:13.42
Verse 21, Yea, whiles
I was speaking in prayer,
00:06:13.43\00:06:17.04
even the man Gabriel,
00:06:17.05\00:06:20.02
whom I had seen in the
vision at the beginning,
00:06:20.03\00:06:23.63
being caused to fly swiftly,
00:06:23.64\00:06:27.19
touched me about the
time of the evening oblation
00:06:27.20\00:06:30.60
or the evening sacrifice.
00:06:30.61\00:06:32.39
Now, it's very important
for us to understand here.
00:06:32.40\00:06:34.59
When we're giving this
Bible study on Daniel chapter 9,
00:06:34.60\00:06:37.84
we must
understand and remember that
00:06:37.85\00:06:41.56
Daniel chapter 9,
verses 20 through 27,
00:06:41.57\00:06:44.64
is Gabriel coming to
explain something to Daniel
00:06:44.65\00:06:48.93
that Daniel had not understood?
00:06:48.94\00:06:50.76
Now this of course
we're just giving a little bit
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.43
of the background, and
this will be going over more
00:06:53.44\00:06:56.12
when Philip does the
study two times from now.
00:06:56.13\00:06:58.97
But I want you to go
back to Daniel chapter 8.
00:06:58.98\00:07:01.44
I want you to go
back to Daniel chapter 8.
00:07:01.45\00:07:04.08
Daniel chapter 8
and verse 26 and 27,
00:07:05.55\00:07:09.52
Daniel chapter 8
verses 26 and 27.
00:07:09.53\00:07:14.26
And again what we're doing is,
00:07:14.27\00:07:15.35
we are just
getting the background
00:07:15.36\00:07:17.55
before we get to Daniel 9.
00:07:17.56\00:07:19.70
So Daniel
chapter 8 verse 26 says,
00:07:20.43\00:07:22.36
and the vision of the
evening and the morning
00:07:22.37\00:07:25.07
which was told is true:
00:07:25.08\00:07:27.44
wherefore shut
thou up the vision;
00:07:27.88\00:07:30.53
for it shall be for many days.
00:07:30.54\00:07:34.24
That's right. Verse
27, and I, Daniel fainted,
00:07:34.25\00:07:38.00
and was sick certain
days; afterward I rose up,
00:07:38.01\00:07:41.86
and did the king's business;
00:07:41.87\00:07:43.91
and I was astonished at
the vision, but none, what?
00:07:43.92\00:07:49.27
Understood it.
00:07:49.28\00:07:51.15
Daniel says
that he is astonished
00:07:51.16\00:07:53.73
at the vision but
none understood it.
00:07:53.74\00:07:57.12
The angel Gabriel
had explained to Daniel
00:07:57.86\00:08:01.05
the first part
of Daniel chapter 8.
00:08:01.06\00:08:03.06
But then Daniel fainted and
he was sick for certain days,
00:08:03.48\00:08:07.21
and he did not
understand the last part
00:08:07.22\00:08:09.94
or the time
aspect of that prophecy.
00:08:09.95\00:08:13.45
So we go back now
to Daniel chapter 9,
00:08:14.13\00:08:16.92
go back to Daniel
chapter 9 and verse 21.
00:08:16.93\00:08:19.96
Now verse 21 will
make much more sense to us.
00:08:20.23\00:08:22.55
Daniel chapter 9 verse 21,
00:08:22.56\00:08:24.56
yea, whiles I was
speaking in prayer,
00:08:25.09\00:08:27.84
even the man Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision
00:08:27.85\00:08:32.52
at the beginning,
being caused to fly swiftly,
00:08:32.53\00:08:36.04
touched me about the
time of the evening oblation.
00:08:36.05\00:08:39.78
Verse 22, and he
informed me, and talked with me,
00:08:40.30\00:08:44.36
and said, O Daniel,
00:08:45.73\00:08:47.26
I am now come forth to
give thee skill and what?
00:08:47.59\00:08:51.04
Understanding.
The newer version says
00:08:51.05\00:08:53.95
I have now come forth to
give you skill to understand.
00:08:53.96\00:08:57.67
What was it that
Daniel did not understand?
00:08:58.55\00:09:02.94
The last part of the
vision or the time aspect
00:09:05.08\00:09:08.85
of the vision in
Daniel chapter 8.
00:09:08.86\00:09:10.88
Now if we read Daniel chapter 9
00:09:10.89\00:09:12.86
beginning in verse 1
00:09:12.87\00:09:13.94
and went all the
way through to verse 19
00:09:13.95\00:09:15.92
there is absolutely
no mention of the vision
00:09:15.93\00:09:18.66
that Daniel had. It's a prayer.
00:09:18.67\00:09:20.94
It's probably one of
the most beautiful prayers
00:09:20.95\00:09:22.64
apart from Jesus praying,
00:09:22.65\00:09:24.42
and I believe it's
in John chapter 17.
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.16
Here Daniel is praying
from verses 1 to verse 19.
00:09:26.17\00:09:29.45
And then the angel Gabriel
while Daniel was praying,
00:09:29.46\00:09:34.00
the angel Gabriel comes to
help him understand the vision.
00:09:34.01\00:09:37.96
It has to be referring to
the vision in Daniel chapter 8.
00:09:37.97\00:09:41.61
So this is what
happens in 22 or verse 23.
00:09:42.13\00:09:45.03
At the beginning
of thy supplications
00:09:45.90\00:09:47.88
the commandment came forth,
00:09:47.89\00:09:49.40
and I am come to shew thee;
for thou art greatly beloved.
00:09:49.41\00:09:53.92
Thou art greatly, what was that?
00:09:54.74\00:09:55.93
Beloved. Wouldn't it be
awesome if the angel Gabriel
00:09:55.94\00:09:59.72
appeared to you
while you were praying,
00:09:59.73\00:10:01.61
and said, I have come
to help you understand
00:10:01.62\00:10:04.35
something, because
you are greatly beloved.
00:10:04.36\00:10:07.38
Who do you think he
was greatly beloved by?
00:10:07.65\00:10:09.30
The one that sent
him which of course
00:10:10.16\00:10:11.83
would be God,
that's absolutely right.
00:10:11.84\00:10:13.44
It says therefore,
the last part of 23.
00:10:14.25\00:10:16.60
Therefore understand the
matter, and consider the, what?
00:10:16.61\00:10:20.45
The vision. What vision?
00:10:21.38\00:10:23.61
Did we have a
vision in Daniel chapter 9.
00:10:23.62\00:10:25.68
No vision in Daniel chapter 9.
00:10:25.97\00:10:27.64
This is referring to the vision
in Daniel chapter 8, verse 24.
00:10:27.65\00:10:33.00
And this is where
we're going to study
00:10:33.72\00:10:36.00
the prophecy of the Messiah.
00:10:36.01\00:10:39.27
It says, Seventy weeks
are determined upon thy people
00:10:39.63\00:10:43.65
and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression,
00:10:43.66\00:10:48.01
to make an end of sins,
00:10:48.02\00:10:52.20
and to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:10:52.21\00:10:55.12
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:10:55.13\00:10:58.33
and to seal up the
vision and prophecy,
00:10:58.34\00:11:00.69
and to anoint the most Holy.
00:11:00.70\00:11:03.68
So seventy weeks are determined
00:11:04.31\00:11:06.09
upon Daniel and Daniel's people.
00:11:06.10\00:11:08.90
Do you wanna know
that word determined means?
00:11:09.21\00:11:11.52
We'll get there.
00:11:11.53\00:11:12.56
But we're gonna finish the
overview of Daniel 9 first.
00:11:12.57\00:11:15.20
Verse 25 says know
therefore and understand
00:11:15.99\00:11:18.56
that from the going
forth of the commandment,
00:11:18.57\00:11:21.54
to restore and build Jerusalem,
unto Messiah the Prince,
00:11:21.55\00:11:25.63
shall be seven weeks
and threescore in two weeks.
00:11:25.64\00:11:30.84
The streets shall be
built again and the wall,
00:11:31.18\00:11:33.93
even in troublesome
times, or troublous times.
00:11:33.94\00:11:37.67
Does anybody know
what a score is? Twenty.
00:11:37.68\00:11:41.52
That's right. So
threescore would be what? Sixty.
00:11:41.53\00:11:45.40
Threescore and two would be 62.
00:11:45.41\00:11:48.99
That's right. So now
we'll just continue reading.
00:11:49.00\00:11:51.27
And after threescore
and two year, two weeks,
00:11:51.59\00:11:55.88
that's 62 weeks shall
Messiah be what? Cut-off.
00:11:55.89\00:12:00.95
But not for himself, and
that's gonna be very important
00:12:00.96\00:12:05.73
when we go through
this Bible study because
00:12:05.74\00:12:07.58
the Messiah is cut off,
but he's not cut off for who?
00:12:07.59\00:12:10.41
He's not cut off for
himself, that's right.
00:12:10.42\00:12:13.19
It says, "But not for himself:
and the people of the prince
00:12:13.53\00:12:17.17
that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary;
00:12:17.18\00:12:21.29
and the end thereof
shall be with a flood,
00:12:21.30\00:12:23.92
and unto the end of the war
desolations are determined."
00:12:23.93\00:12:28.17
Verse 27, and I
see a lot of people
00:12:28.86\00:12:30.33
crinkling their
foreheads right now.
00:12:30.34\00:12:32.20
They are like what in the
world is this talking about?
00:12:32.21\00:12:34.77
But we're gonna clear it
up; it's gonna be crystal clear.
00:12:34.78\00:12:37.29
Verse 27 says, And he
shall confirm the covenant
00:12:37.69\00:12:40.42
with many for,
what? For one week.
00:12:40.43\00:12:42.95
Notice that we had seven
weeks, then we had three score
00:12:42.96\00:12:46.64
and two weeks or
how many weeks was that?
00:12:46.65\00:12:48.23
Sixty-two weeks, so seven weeks,
00:12:48.24\00:12:50.47
plus sixty-two weeks
equals how many weeks?
00:12:50.48\00:12:53.18
Sixty-nine weeks and
then in verse 27 it says,
00:12:53.19\00:12:56.52
and He, speaking to the Messiah,
00:12:56.53\00:12:58.02
shall confirm the
covenant with many for how long?
00:12:58.03\00:13:00.45
For one week, so if
we have sixty-nine weeks
00:13:00.46\00:13:03.38
plus one week, how many
weeks do we have? Seventy.
00:13:03.39\00:13:05.58
Seventy, how many did we
start off with in verse 24?
00:13:05.59\00:13:08.44
Seventy weeks.
00:13:08.98\00:13:10.13
I think it's very important
for us to remember right here.
00:13:10.14\00:13:13.30
That, the Bible says
there are seven weeks,
00:13:14.32\00:13:17.87
and then there, well let's
see, the way you're gonna view
00:13:17.88\00:13:20.44
it's gonna be from
this way, that way, right?
00:13:20.45\00:13:22.00
So, the Bible says
there's gonna be seven weeks,
00:13:22.01\00:13:24.28
and then there will be what?
00:13:24.29\00:13:25.28
Sixty-two weeks and
then there will be one week,
00:13:26.29\00:13:30.31
just like the sixty-two
weeks follow the seven weeks,
00:13:30.32\00:13:34.06
the one week
follows the sixty-two weeks.
00:13:34.07\00:13:37.25
And after the sixty-two weeks
00:13:37.26\00:13:40.73
Messiah will be cut
off but not for Himself.
00:13:40.74\00:13:42.83
Verse 27, "And he
shall confirm the covenant
00:13:43.43\00:13:46.50
with many for one week."
00:13:46.51\00:13:47.84
That's how much time we
have left in this prophecy.
00:13:47.85\00:13:50.24
"And in the midst of
the week he shall cause
00:13:50.25\00:13:52.28
the sacrifice and
the oblation to cease.
00:13:52.29\00:13:55.11
And for the
overspreading of abominations
00:13:55.12\00:13:57.74
he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation,
00:13:57.75\00:14:01.91
and that determined shall be
poured out upon the desolate."
00:14:01.92\00:14:06.72
Now, when Daniel
was writing this,
00:14:07.80\00:14:09.07
Daniel was using a parallelism,
if I can use that word.
00:14:09.08\00:14:12.67
If it's a real
word, praise the Lord,
00:14:12.68\00:14:14.04
if it's not, I just made it up
00:14:14.05\00:14:15.08
and now I'm gonna
explain what it means.
00:14:15.09\00:14:16.78
On our next graphic, on our next
graphic you need to remember,
00:14:16.79\00:14:21.47
and notice that in
Daniel chapter 9 verse 25,
00:14:21.48\00:14:24.23
the first part of that
verse talks about the Messiah.
00:14:24.24\00:14:27.33
The second part of that
verse talks about the city.
00:14:27.34\00:14:30.27
In Daniel 9:26, the
first part of that verse
00:14:31.05\00:14:33.58
talks about the Messiah.
00:14:33.59\00:14:34.90
The second part of that verse
00:14:34.91\00:14:36.48
talks about the, what? The city.
00:14:36.49\00:14:38.45
In Daniel 9:27,
00:14:38.46\00:14:40.73
the first part of that
verse talks about the Messiah,
00:14:40.74\00:14:44.08
and the second part of that
verse talks about the? City.
00:14:44.09\00:14:47.57
So, let's do this, let's go back
to Daniel chapter 9 verse 25,
00:14:47.58\00:14:51.03
and let's just read the parts
that pertain to the Messiah,
00:14:51.04\00:14:55.01
just the first parts
that pertain to the Messiah.
00:14:55.02\00:14:58.46
Daniel chapter 9 verse 25 says,
00:14:58.47\00:15:01.55
"Know therefore and understand."
00:15:01.56\00:15:03.44
That from the going
forth of the command to restore
00:15:03.45\00:15:06.07
and build Jerusalem
unto Messiah the Prince
00:15:06.08\00:15:08.90
shall be seven weeks and
three score and two weeks.
00:15:08.91\00:15:13.61
Then we cut it off right there.
00:15:13.62\00:15:15.49
Let's go to verse 26.
00:15:15.88\00:15:17.45
"And after
threescore and two weeks
00:15:17.46\00:15:20.28
shall Messiah be cut
off but not for himself."
00:15:20.29\00:15:24.93
Cut if off right there.
00:15:24.94\00:15:26.78
Then you go to 9:27,
and He, speaking of Messiah.
00:15:27.22\00:15:30.82
"Shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week
00:15:30.83\00:15:33.66
and in the midst of
the week he shall cause
00:15:33.67\00:15:36.02
the sacrifice and
the oblation to cease."
00:15:36.03\00:15:39.33
Cut it off right there.
00:15:39.34\00:15:41.01
So, as we go
through this prophecy,
00:15:41.02\00:15:43.69
we are going to
focus on the first part
00:15:43.70\00:15:46.62
of each one of these verses,
00:15:46.63\00:15:47.97
Daniel 9:25, Daniel
9:26 and Daniel 9:27.
00:15:47.98\00:15:52.04
We're gonna
focus only on the parts
00:15:52.05\00:15:54.54
that pertain to the Messiah,
00:15:54.55\00:15:56.69
or to one that's coming,
the anointed one, Jesus Christ.
00:15:56.70\00:16:00.94
We're gonna focus on those
first parts during the study
00:16:01.24\00:16:05.31
After the study is
over we're gonna go back
00:16:05.32\00:16:08.00
and we're going to look
at what it's talking about
00:16:08.01\00:16:10.70
in the second
half of each verse.
00:16:10.71\00:16:12.50
That will enable us
to go through the study,
00:16:12.51\00:16:14.86
just a little bit more
quick then we would have been
00:16:14.87\00:16:18.73
able to do it before or quicker,
00:16:18.74\00:16:20.69
that's probably the
best word to use there.
00:16:20.70\00:16:22.51
That will unable us to
go through this quicker.
00:16:22.78\00:16:24.45
So, let's go to our
next slide, our next graphic,
00:16:24.82\00:16:29.12
and you'll notice there
we're now in Daniel 9:24.
00:16:29.13\00:16:31.61
So, what we're going to do is
00:16:31.91\00:16:33.47
we're going to
break down this prophecy.
00:16:33.48\00:16:35.87
Verses 20 through
23 tell us that Gabriel
00:16:36.20\00:16:40.68
is coming to help
Daniel understand a vision.
00:16:40.69\00:16:43.63
There is no vision in
00:16:43.64\00:16:46.14
Daniel chapter 9
verses 1 through 20, or 19.
00:16:46.15\00:16:51.56
Then Gabriel shows up to
help Daniel understand a vision.
00:16:52.20\00:16:55.97
We read Daniel chapter 8
and we understand that Daniel,
00:16:56.52\00:16:59.37
and we know now that
Daniel didn't understand
00:16:59.38\00:17:01.49
the time aspect of the vision
00:17:01.50\00:17:05.16
that had been given to
him in Daniel chapter 8.
00:17:05.17\00:17:07.50
And again when we get to Daniel
chapter 8 and we study that,
00:17:08.07\00:17:10.81
we'll talking about how these
two visions go hand in hand.
00:17:10.82\00:17:14.44
They fit just like
a, a sock and a shoe.
00:17:14.45\00:17:17.02
So, we're now in Daniel 9:24
00:17:17.03\00:17:20.42
and we'll
simply read that again.
00:17:20.43\00:17:22.27
Who would like
to read that for me?
00:17:22.28\00:17:23.62
How about somebody over
here in this section right here?
00:17:23.63\00:17:25.78
Who's going to read that for us?
00:17:25.79\00:17:26.89
Mike's got the mic, so,
Mike can read, Daniel 9:24.
00:17:26.90\00:17:32.33
And I'm going to interrupt you,
00:17:32.79\00:17:34.39
so just be
prepared for that, okay.
00:17:34.40\00:17:35.98
That happens a
lot during this study.
00:17:35.99\00:17:37.51
Alright. "Seventy
weeks are determined
00:17:37.74\00:17:40.27
upon thy people and
upon thy holy city."
00:17:40.28\00:17:42.71
Alright, that's
good right there.
00:17:42.72\00:17:44.23
Seventy weeks are what?
00:17:44.97\00:17:46.91
Determined. Determined.
Seventy weeks are determined.
00:17:47.35\00:17:51.23
It's important now for us
to go to the original language.
00:17:51.24\00:17:54.32
On your graphic
you will see there
00:17:54.80\00:17:56.29
that the word
determined is "Chathak."
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.92
That's how it's
pronounced, "Chathak."
00:17:58.93\00:18:01.25
And Chathak means
cut off, or amputate.
00:18:01.85\00:18:06.59
That means cut off, or amputate.
00:18:07.16\00:18:09.34
This word Chathak is
only used once in scripture,
00:18:09.69\00:18:13.73
and since you're a
thinking individual
00:18:13.74\00:18:15.98
you're saying to
yourself what we just read it,
00:18:15.99\00:18:17.90
so I know exactly the
one time it's mentioned.
00:18:17.91\00:18:19.98
And where is that?
00:18:19.99\00:18:21.15
Daniel 9:24,
that's absolutely right.
00:18:22.57\00:18:24.83
The only time this is mentioned,
00:18:24.84\00:18:26.96
this word is used in
scripture is here in Daniel 9,
00:18:26.97\00:18:30.35
excuse me and verse 24.
00:18:31.24\00:18:33.26
See, you and I
have to go outside;
00:18:34.11\00:18:36.14
we have to go to
extra-biblical literature
00:18:36.15\00:18:39.29
to understand
what this word means.
00:18:39.30\00:18:41.73
And when we look at
what this word means
00:18:42.50\00:18:44.24
in extra-biblical literature.
In literature that was written
00:18:44.25\00:18:47.74
around the same time
period as Daniel was.
00:18:47.75\00:18:50.29
The word Chathak means
to cut off, or amputate,
00:18:50.60\00:18:55.27
to cut off or amputate.
00:18:55.28\00:18:57.86
So, it says, seventy weeks
00:18:58.88\00:19:01.30
that's what you
read right, Mike?
00:19:01.31\00:19:02.98
Seventy weeks are determined;
seventy weeks are cut off,
00:19:02.99\00:19:08.12
seventy weeks are amputated
for you and your people, right?
00:19:08.13\00:19:15.18
Isn't that how it reads,
why don't you finish reading
00:19:15.19\00:19:16.88
Daniel chapter 9
and verse 24 for us,
00:19:16.89\00:19:19.88
Daniel chapter 9 verse 24.
00:19:19.89\00:19:22.59
"To finish the transgression
and to make an end of sins
00:19:23.88\00:19:26.60
and to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:19:26.61\00:19:29.24
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:19:29.25\00:19:32.35
and to seal up the
vision and the prophecy,
00:19:32.36\00:19:34.80
and to anoint the most Holy."
00:19:34.81\00:19:36.73
So, seventy weeks.
00:19:36.74\00:19:39.16
In the original
language it actually reads
00:19:39.17\00:19:41.81
seventy-sevens
denoting a period of a week.
00:19:41.82\00:19:45.71
Seventy weeks are cut
off for you and your people
00:19:45.99\00:19:50.62
to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
00:19:50.63\00:19:53.49
to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:19:53.50\00:19:55.36
to bring in
everlasting righteousness."
00:19:55.37\00:19:57.45
There was another
one that I skipped there,
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.22
to seal up the
vision and prophecy
00:19:59.23\00:20:01.05
and to anoint the most Holy."
00:20:01.06\00:20:02.74
So let's just look at this time
period now of Seventy weeks.
00:20:03.40\00:20:07.87
Daniel 9:24 in
the graphic there,
00:20:07.88\00:20:09.84
seventy weeks are cut off.
00:20:09.85\00:20:11.51
We are going to
do some simple math.
00:20:11.52\00:20:14.88
How many of do you like math.
00:20:14.89\00:20:15.93
Do you like
math? I just love math.
00:20:15.94\00:20:18.40
If there was any subject
00:20:18.41\00:20:19.65
that I would like
to study a lot more of,
00:20:19.66\00:20:21.20
it would be math other
than the Bible of course.
00:20:21.21\00:20:23.95
So, we are gonna
take seventy weeks,
00:20:24.22\00:20:26.09
how many days are there
in a week Tom? Seven days.
00:20:26.10\00:20:29.20
Seven days in a week.
00:20:29.21\00:20:30.82
So if we have seventy weeks
00:20:30.83\00:20:32.78
and we have seven days per week,
00:20:32.79\00:20:35.69
how many prophetic
days do we end up with here
00:20:35.70\00:20:39.43
in Daniel chapter 9 verse 24?
00:20:39.44\00:20:41.90
490, that's
absolutely right Tim.
00:20:42.87\00:20:44.96
So we have 490 prophetic days.
00:20:44.97\00:20:48.83
So, seventy prophetic weeks
00:20:48.84\00:20:50.97
is the same as
490 prophetic days.
00:20:50.98\00:20:55.69
Is everybody
following with me here?
00:20:55.70\00:20:57.91
Do we know where
I got the 490 from?
00:20:57.92\00:20:59.61
Where did I get the 490 from?
00:21:00.52\00:21:02.06
Who would like to explain
where I got the 490 from?
00:21:02.07\00:21:04.05
Oh, she is looking
like don't look at me.
00:21:04.76\00:21:06.77
And okay why don't you
go ahead and do that for us?
00:21:06.78\00:21:09.40
Okay. Where did I
get the Seventy from?
00:21:10.26\00:21:11.98
From the Bible.
00:21:15.56\00:21:17.38
That's right, we got that
from Daniel chapter 9 verse 24.
00:21:18.53\00:21:21.90
You know there will be people
00:21:21.91\00:21:23.33
that you study
the Bible with them,
00:21:23.34\00:21:24.85
when you studying the
Bible with them they will say
00:21:24.86\00:21:26.20
where did you come
up with the seventy?
00:21:26.21\00:21:27.91
Where did you get
the seventy weeks?
00:21:27.92\00:21:29.23
And even though you've read
the overview and you've just
00:21:29.24\00:21:32.34
explained where you
got the 70 weeks from,
00:21:32.35\00:21:34.43
there will be people that you
need to just re-explain it to.
00:21:34.44\00:21:37.77
So we get the 70 weeks
from Daniel chapter 9 verse 24.
00:21:37.78\00:21:41.84
There are how many
days per week? Seven.
00:21:42.56\00:21:45.58
Do you realize
that there's absolutely,
00:21:46.45\00:21:47.86
and those of you that
have been in the classroom
00:21:47.87\00:21:50.20
and those of you
that have been at home
00:21:50.21\00:21:51.37
watching all of
these programs you realize
00:21:51.38\00:21:53.44
that there is only one place
in all of the world's history
00:21:53.45\00:21:58.59
that denotes the period of
seven days equaling a week,
00:21:58.60\00:22:02.39
and what was that? Creation.
00:22:02.40\00:22:04.32
That's absolutely right
00:22:04.33\00:22:05.36
There was a creation
in Genesis chapter 1.
00:22:05.37\00:22:07.44
In the first
day, the second day,
00:22:07.45\00:22:10.23
the third day,
so on and so forth
00:22:10.24\00:22:12.40
until we got to the
seventh day or the Sabbath.
00:22:12.41\00:22:14.31
So seven days per
week, seventy weeks,
00:22:15.19\00:22:18.80
that gives us
490 prophetic days.
00:22:18.81\00:22:23.02
So I've got a question
up here on the graphic,
00:22:23.30\00:22:25.69
why do we call
them prophetic days?
00:22:25.70\00:22:28.58
Well there's
basically two reasons
00:22:28.59\00:22:30.08
and the first one is just
gonna knock your socks off.
00:22:30.09\00:22:31.96
We're studying a prophetic book.
00:22:31.97\00:22:33.47
That's quite easy to understand.
00:22:34.35\00:22:36.14
They're prophetic days because
we are in a prophetic book.
00:22:36.15\00:22:38.44
And a prophetic day is symbolic
of a longer period of time.
00:22:38.45\00:22:46.04
A prophetic day is symbolic
of a longer period of time.
00:22:46.67\00:22:52.77
Our next
reference on your screen
00:22:53.42\00:22:56.06
there is the third
text in our Daniel 9 study.
00:22:56.07\00:22:58.64
It's Numbers 14:34
and we are going to pull
00:22:58.65\00:23:01.91
a principle out
as Numbers 14:34,
00:23:01.92\00:23:05.74
what do we are
gonna pull out of there.
00:23:05.75\00:23:06.90
A principle that's right.
00:23:06.91\00:23:08.75
We're gonna pull a
principle out of Numbers 14:34.
00:23:08.76\00:23:11.75
So we're just go to our
graphic those of you at home,
00:23:11.76\00:23:14.29
you can see that the 3rd
text in the Daniel ninth study,
00:23:14.30\00:23:17.59
is Daniel 9, I'm
sorry it's Numbers 14:34
00:23:17.60\00:23:21.52
and I also have a
parenthesis there, Ezekiel 4:6,
00:23:21.53\00:23:24.89
because they have the
exact same principle in them.
00:23:24.90\00:23:29.40
They have the exact
same what? Principle.
00:23:30.41\00:23:33.77
Now the reason I keep
saying principle is because
00:23:34.09\00:23:37.00
when you are giving this
Bible study, people will say,
00:23:37.01\00:23:39.47
well how did the
world do you really know
00:23:39.48\00:23:41.60
that a day in Bible
prophecy equals a year?
00:23:41.61\00:23:45.24
We're gonna read that
principle here in Numbers 14:34
00:23:45.25\00:23:47.97
and then if we wanted we can
go to Ezekiel chapter 4 verse 6.
00:23:47.98\00:23:51.84
And then some people will
still say, I still don't believe
00:23:51.85\00:23:55.97
that a prophetic day is
equal to a literal year.
00:23:55.98\00:24:00.02
And so this is
what I will tell them.
00:24:00.32\00:24:02.41
I'll say you just
hang with me in this study.
00:24:02.42\00:24:05.12
If the principle works of a day
00:24:05.79\00:24:09.30
in Bible
prophecy equal in a year,
00:24:09.31\00:24:11.04
if that principle
works and we plug it in.
00:24:11.05\00:24:14.74
If we plug it into
this prophecy and it works
00:24:14.75\00:24:17.03
then we know that it's true.
00:24:17.04\00:24:18.50
If we plug it into this prophecy
00:24:18.51\00:24:20.51
and it doesn't work you
can throw out the whole study.
00:24:20.52\00:24:22.56
But I'm convinced
because I've studied it
00:24:23.25\00:24:25.46
time and time again,
00:24:25.47\00:24:26.44
that a day in Bible
prophecy equals a year.
00:24:26.45\00:24:29.33
And you're gonna be excited
00:24:29.34\00:24:30.31
when we get to the
end of this study as well
00:24:30.32\00:24:33.47
that a day in Bible
prophecy equals a year.
00:24:33.48\00:24:35.31
So we are in Numbers
14:34 and who had that,
00:24:35.32\00:24:38.21
that would like to read it.
00:24:38.22\00:24:39.22
Numbers chapter 14,
let's go to somebody here
00:24:39.23\00:24:41.42
in the center of the room,
00:24:41.43\00:24:42.52
so we have three
ladies to choose from.
00:24:42.53\00:24:44.69
We're gonna to numbers
chapter 14 and verse 34
00:24:45.41\00:24:49.03
and let's see who is
there and wants to read it
00:24:49.04\00:24:52.13
right out of the
center of this room.
00:24:52.14\00:24:53.68
That means you're
gonna have to look at me
00:24:53.69\00:24:55.30
and tell me whose gonna do that.
00:24:55.31\00:24:56.42
Ah, she said I will. Numbers 14,
00:24:58.25\00:25:00.79
that meal you just had
sitting hard now, isn't that?
00:25:01.12\00:25:03.51
It sure is, alright.
Numbers chapter 14 verse 34.
00:25:04.17\00:25:07.47
And the number of the days
in which ye searched the land,
00:25:09.08\00:25:11.84
even forty days,
each day for a year,
00:25:12.27\00:25:14.69
shall ye bear your
iniquities, even forty years,
00:25:15.46\00:25:18.31
and ye shall know
my breach of promise.
00:25:18.73\00:25:20.90
Okay. So in this text we are
00:25:21.85\00:25:24.29
pulling out the
principle that in prophecy
00:25:24.30\00:25:29.16
a day is equal
to a what, a year.
00:25:29.59\00:25:33.69
One prophetic day is
equal to one literal year.
00:25:34.01\00:25:39.95
Fascine that in your
mind because you will be
00:25:40.20\00:25:42.38
fascinated by what
you have fascined there.
00:25:42.56\00:25:45.33
It said lot of
Fs there, wasn't it?
00:25:45.91\00:25:47.42
So Numbers 14:34 is
where we get the principle
00:25:48.00\00:25:50.78
that one day in Bible prophecy
equals one literal year.
00:25:50.79\00:25:56.26
So let's go back to
Daniel chapter 9 now.
00:25:56.45\00:25:59.50
Daniel chapter 9 now
and we are going to read
00:26:00.98\00:26:04.75
verse 24 one more
time, I'll read that,
00:26:04.76\00:26:07.11
Daniel chapter 9 verse
24. I want to make sure that
00:26:07.12\00:26:10.50
we understand where
these numbers are coming from.
00:26:10.51\00:26:13.25
One thing that I like
to do when we are finished
00:26:15.85\00:26:17.66
with some of these studies
is to bring the students up here
00:26:17.67\00:26:20.97
and let them
present it back to me.
00:26:20.98\00:26:24.22
So that I know that that
student has understood it.
00:26:25.07\00:26:27.13
Because what's gonna happen,
you are gonna get out of here
00:26:27.14\00:26:30.58
and you're gonna go to
Bolivia and believe it or not
00:26:30.87\00:26:33.10
you're actually going
to be studying the Bible
00:26:33.11\00:26:34.68
with people and
they're going to say
00:26:34.69\00:26:35.66
where did you
get that number from?
00:26:35.67\00:26:36.84
How do you know that a day in
00:26:36.85\00:26:37.96
Bible prophecy
is equal to a year?
00:26:37.97\00:26:39.36
And you got it. So you
have a deeper challenge
00:26:41.62\00:26:43.60
than we do, don't you?
Now I mean it's one thing
00:26:43.61\00:26:46.22
to look at a word in
Chathak and to tell people
00:26:46.23\00:26:49.48
what it means it's a
completely different thing
00:26:49.49\00:26:50.87
to give a Bible
study in Spanish.
00:26:50.88\00:26:52.30
But I bet Roberto could
pull it off quite easily,
00:26:52.44\00:26:54.67
couldn't you brother?
Roberto, maybe you just
00:26:54.68\00:26:56.85
need to go to
Bolivia with them brother
00:26:56.86\00:26:58.18
and send it back to
Atlanta. The Bible says,
00:26:58.19\00:27:00.88
seventy weeks are
determined upon thy people,
00:27:00.89\00:27:04.95
Daniel 9:24, and
upon thy Holy city.
00:27:04.96\00:27:07.20
How many weeks are
determined or cut off?
00:27:07.62\00:27:09.75
70. And they are cut
off of a longer time period
00:27:10.99\00:27:14.49
that has found
in Daniel chapter 8.
00:27:14.50\00:27:16.67
And again Pastor Sizemore
is gonna be over that for us.
00:27:16.68\00:27:19.19
Seventy weeks are cut off
00:27:20.51\00:27:22.72
or amputated from a
longer time prophesy.
00:27:23.10\00:27:25.53
Now we are going to
Daniel chapter 9 verse 25.
00:27:26.24\00:27:30.43
But before we read
Daniel 9:25 I've got,
00:27:30.49\00:27:33.53
I've got something
on the screen here.
00:27:34.21\00:27:35.58
You know I taught you the
other day that if you have a
00:27:36.41\00:27:39.41
chart or if you write things out
00:27:39.72\00:27:42.25
then when you're
giving the Bible study people
00:27:42.26\00:27:44.06
will be able to
understand it easier,
00:27:44.07\00:27:46.00
do you remember that? I
believe that Sebacic 2:2
00:27:46.01\00:27:49.10
write things in
charts. So seventy weeks
00:27:49.54\00:27:53.88
is equal to 490 prophetic
days. 490 prophetic days
00:27:53.89\00:27:59.86
is equal to 490 literal
years. 490 literal years are
00:27:59.87\00:28:07.72
amputated or cut off from what?
And this is what Pastor Sizemore
00:28:07.73\00:28:12.63
will be talking about,
that longer time period
00:28:12.64\00:28:14.95
that 70 weeks came
from two studies from now.
00:28:14.96\00:28:17.97
He'll be talking about
that two studies for now so,
00:28:18.17\00:28:20.14
of course when we in
the classroom we'll be here.
00:28:20.47\00:28:22.02
Those of you at home
you'll want to make sure
00:28:22.36\00:28:23.67
that you're here as well so that
you can join us for that study.
00:28:23.68\00:28:26.34
Our next graphic here,
what I've done is I've simply
00:28:28.10\00:28:32.21
made a graph or a
chart. 70 weeks is equal to
00:28:32.22\00:28:36.09
490 prophetic days.
490 days prophetic days
00:28:36.10\00:28:39.65
is equal to 490 literal years.
So I've just drawn out that
00:28:39.66\00:28:43.89
long chart there showing a
period of 490 literal years
00:28:43.90\00:28:49.26
or 490 prophetic days.
When you are giving this
00:28:49.27\00:28:52.47
Bible study, you'll write
down everything that you see
00:28:52.48\00:28:56.46
on the graph as this
graph continues to grow.
00:28:56.47\00:28:59.06
By the end of this study this
graph is going to be so full,
00:28:59.67\00:29:02.37
I actually had to
hide some of the stuff
00:29:02.66\00:29:04.41
that was already there or
make it almost not seeable
00:29:04.42\00:29:06.87
because this graph
gets very, very full.
00:29:07.16\00:29:09.30
So we know from
Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6,
00:29:10.25\00:29:14.28
the principle that a day in
Bible prophecy equals a year.
00:29:14.43\00:29:18.84
A day in Bible
prophecy, Ryan, equals a what?
00:29:19.07\00:29:21.38
A year. A year,
that's absolutely right.
00:29:21.75\00:29:23.73
So now, our next reference
is Daniel chapter 9 verse 25.
00:29:24.10\00:29:29.43
The Bible said, "70
weeks are determined
00:29:30.91\00:29:33.98
upon your people
and your holy city."
00:29:35.11\00:29:37.33
70 weeks are cut off
for a particular purpose,
00:29:37.34\00:29:40.93
my question is when
does that 70 weeks begin?
00:29:41.29\00:29:45.89
Because this 70
week time period is the
00:29:46.87\00:29:51.05
beginning of
the 70 week prophecy
00:29:51.06\00:29:53.66
and it's also the beginning
of the longer time prophecy
00:29:53.94\00:29:58.44
that the 70 weeks was
cut off of, you follow that?
00:29:59.04\00:30:01.66
So my question is, when
does this 70 week period begin?
00:30:02.29\00:30:07.59
And so here we are,
Daniel chapter 9 and verse 25.
00:30:08.06\00:30:11.74
And we go ahead and take
somebody from this side of
00:30:11.75\00:30:13.72
the room, Daniel
chapter 9 and verse 25 and Anita
00:30:13.73\00:30:16.94
raised her hand there.
And those of you at home,
00:30:16.95\00:30:19.24
who have been following
with us, you remember that
00:30:19.25\00:30:21.28
Anita is very
good at eye contact.
00:30:21.29\00:30:23.65
And the reason she's
good is because when she gives
00:30:24.06\00:30:26.49
that Bible study, she
wants to make sure that the
00:30:26.50\00:30:28.31
people she is giving the
Bible study to are engaged with
00:30:28.32\00:30:31.15
her in that study.
So you be the judge,
00:30:31.16\00:30:32.77
she's gonna look at you
now on this camera and you see
00:30:33.04\00:30:35.72
if she's making
that eye contact?
00:30:35.73\00:30:37.10
"Know therefore and understand,
00:30:38.82\00:30:40.90
that from the going forth
of the commandment to restore
00:30:41.58\00:30:44.36
and build Jerusalem unto
the Messiah the Prince shall be
00:30:44.43\00:30:48.40
seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks."
00:30:48.41\00:30:51.88
Okay, so that's where
we'll stop, because remember
00:30:51.89\00:30:54.29
we're focusing in Daniel 9:25,
Daniel 9:26 and Daniel 9:27
00:30:54.30\00:30:58.65
on the first parts. And
the first parts of Daniel 9:25,
00:30:58.66\00:31:02.40
Daniel 9:26 and
Daniel 9:27 focused on whom?
00:31:02.66\00:31:06.19
Say it louder.
Messiah. Messiah, that's right.
00:31:08.49\00:31:10.93
When you know the
answer, just blurt it out and
00:31:11.47\00:31:13.40
you can blurt it out loud
enough for me to hear you.
00:31:13.41\00:31:15.18
Because you remember, I
told you earlier that when
00:31:15.54\00:31:17.22
I was a young fellow I
had these huge speakers in my
00:31:17.23\00:31:20.50
car and so I can't
hear low tones very well.
00:31:20.51\00:31:23.29
You know, I was in
store just yesterday and I was
00:31:23.30\00:31:26.64
picking up some sound
equipment and I was trying to
00:31:26.65\00:31:29.25
get a better deal then
what they were giving me.
00:31:29.26\00:31:31.25
And we did praise
the Lord for that.
00:31:31.29\00:31:33.07
But the people that
were working at the shop they
00:31:34.24\00:31:36.66
were behind me and
they were whispering,
00:31:36.67\00:31:38.03
can you please this
guys trying to get these
00:31:38.43\00:31:40.18
microphones for
87 dollars a piece?
00:31:40.24\00:31:43.28
And I could everything
they were saying because my
00:31:44.37\00:31:46.82
whispering ear wasn't damaged
when I had that big speaker
00:31:46.83\00:31:49.89
in my car. So I'm still
searching on the Internet
00:31:49.90\00:31:51.98
their replace, and I
say that's absolutely right,
00:31:52.36\00:31:54.43
I'm trying to get the
best deal that I can because
00:31:54.44\00:31:56.25
you guys advertised
that you would give me,
00:31:56.26\00:31:58.94
you would match
an Internet price.
00:32:00.09\00:32:01.25
So, and then he was all
apologetic because I've heard
00:32:01.26\00:32:03.68
what he said. So you
don't have to whisper,
00:32:03.69\00:32:06.72
I can hear you but
maybe some people had hearing
00:32:07.60\00:32:10.08
damage on the
whispering end and,
00:32:10.09\00:32:11.60
they need you to talk louder.
00:32:11.72\00:32:12.95
So know
therefore, verse 25 says,
00:32:13.34\00:32:15.28
know therefore and
understand that from the going
00:32:15.29\00:32:18.51
forth of the
commandment to restore and build
00:32:18.52\00:32:23.14
Jerusalem unto Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks
00:32:23.15\00:32:29.24
and threescore and two
weeks. So I've another graphic,
00:32:29.85\00:32:33.39
look at this graphic,
again I told you this is going
00:32:34.06\00:32:36.02
to get very full. Over
here and I don't know if those
00:32:36.03\00:32:39.53
of you at home
are looking at me,
00:32:39.54\00:32:40.53
if you're just looking at the
graphic on the far left here,
00:32:40.54\00:32:42.56
it says, "command to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:32:42.57\00:32:45.12
And I've got it
right there on that line.
00:32:45.13\00:32:47.46
Know therefore and
understand that from the going
00:32:48.26\00:32:50.23
forth of the command
and to restore and build
00:32:50.24\00:32:52.41
Jerusalem unto Messiah the
Prince shall be 7 weeks and
00:32:52.42\00:32:58.81
62 weeks. So from the
command to restore and build
00:32:58.92\00:33:03.45
Jerusalem unto Messiah the
Prince are 69 prophetic weeks,
00:33:03.46\00:33:09.03
which is 483
prophetic days or 483 what?
00:33:09.45\00:33:16.41
Literal years,
that's absolutely right.
00:33:17.63\00:33:21.05
So the beginning of this
time prophecy is the commandment
00:33:21.92\00:33:25.96
to restore and build Jerusalem.
00:33:26.25\00:33:29.71
Now I'll just ask, let's
see here whom am I going to
00:33:30.96\00:33:32.96
ask will bring the camera,
that's going to get people
00:33:32.97\00:33:35.03
faces over to here,
Tim, I'm gonna ask you.
00:33:35.04\00:33:37.24
Tim, what starts the
70 week time prophecy?
00:33:37.64\00:33:44.16
The commandment to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:33:45.49\00:33:47.02
What Bible verse do we
find that in? We found it in,
00:33:47.37\00:33:51.47
Daniel chapter 9
verse 25. That's right.
00:33:52.69\00:33:55.39
So in Daniel 9:25,
it says, know therefore,
00:33:55.70\00:33:58.60
because remember the
angel Gabriel is just explaining
00:33:58.88\00:34:01.50
a vision to Daniel that
Daniel had had previous to this.
00:34:01.51\00:34:04.45
And the angel
Gabriel says to Daniel,
00:34:04.70\00:34:06.37
know therefore
and understand Daniel.
00:34:06.76\00:34:08.35
That from the going
forth of the command,
00:34:09.17\00:34:11.23
to restore and build Jerusalem
unto Messiah the Prince
00:34:11.72\00:34:15.41
will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks.
00:34:16.07\00:34:19.42
So Daniel is thinking
to himself, the command to
00:34:20.36\00:34:23.94
restore and build Jerusalem,
the command to restore and
00:34:23.95\00:34:28.11
build Jerusalem. If I could
only find out when the command
00:34:28.12\00:34:31.76
to restore and
build Jerusalem is?
00:34:31.77\00:34:33.77
Were you and I
are going to find out?
00:34:34.79\00:34:36.29
We're going to
find that out today.
00:34:36.30\00:34:37.77
We'll go, just one more time,
I want to review this graphic
00:34:38.74\00:34:41.78
because it is important
that you lock all of this in
00:34:41.79\00:34:43.74
your mind. 70 weeks
were cut off of the longer
00:34:43.75\00:34:47.35
time period. 70
prophetic weeks is the same as
00:34:47.36\00:34:50.78
490 prophetic days.
490 prophetic days is the
00:34:50.79\00:34:54.83
as 490 literal years. And
you maybe asking yourself.
00:34:54.84\00:34:58.16
Why Scott, are you are
going over this and over this
00:34:58.34\00:35:00.37
and over this and over
this? And the reason I'm going
00:35:00.38\00:35:02.60
over and over
and over this again,
00:35:02.61\00:35:03.95
is because I've taught
this Bible study for the last
00:35:04.25\00:35:06.24
four and half years. And
people always ask me when
00:35:06.66\00:35:09.95
I'm done, how did
you get those figures?
00:35:09.96\00:35:12.23
How did we get
those figures? You mean,
00:35:13.00\00:35:14.40
you really want me to give this
Bible study to somebody else?
00:35:14.41\00:35:16.57
I'm not ready Pastor
Scott, I'm not ready to give the
00:35:16.81\00:35:18.42
Bible study, what
am I am I gonna do?
00:35:18.43\00:35:20.15
So I'm going over it and
over it, and over and over that,
00:35:21.62\00:35:23.61
so that you don't
come to me and say,
00:35:23.86\00:35:25.01
Pastor Scott,
what am I going to do?
00:35:25.02\00:35:26.60
70 weeks is the same
as 490 prophetic days.
00:35:28.23\00:35:31.39
490 prophetic days is as
same as 490 literal years.
00:35:31.90\00:35:36.31
70 weeks are cut off
the whole time period is
00:35:37.28\00:35:40.16
490 prophetic days
are 490 literal years.
00:35:40.17\00:35:43.77
When does the 70
week time period begin?
00:35:44.38\00:35:46.77
This 70 week time period
begins from the commandment
00:35:47.15\00:35:50.55
to restore and build
Jerusalem. Not just to build it
00:35:50.65\00:35:56.45
but to restore it, and what
does that mean to restore it?
00:35:56.46\00:36:01.07
That means, that Jerusalem,
that the Israelite nation would
00:36:01.08\00:36:05.41
be given the
right of full autonomy.
00:36:05.42\00:36:08.75
Do you know what
the word autonomy means?
00:36:09.82\00:36:11.64
The word autonomy means to
be able to govern yourself.
00:36:12.01\00:36:16.56
You're autonomous; you
are able to govern yourself.
00:36:17.81\00:36:21.89
So know therefore and
understand that from the
00:36:22.12\00:36:24.62
command to restore and
build Jerusalem unto Messiah
00:36:24.63\00:36:27.86
the Prince, shall be
seven weeks and threescore and
00:36:27.87\00:36:31.43
two weeks. Then it says
and the streets shall be built
00:36:31.44\00:36:33.66
again and even the
wall, even in troublous times,
00:36:33.67\00:36:35.60
but we're
focusing on the last half,
00:36:35.61\00:36:36.88
after the study is
over. So, we have 69 prophetic
00:36:37.09\00:36:41.30
weeks or 483 literal
years from the beginning of the
00:36:41.31\00:36:45.92
70 week prophecy
unto Messiah the Prince.
00:36:45.93\00:36:49.12
So, all we have to do is
to figure out from scripture
00:36:49.62\00:36:52.82
when was the commandment
given not only to rebuild
00:36:53.12\00:36:57.86
Jerusalem, but to restore
it or to give the Israelite
00:36:57.87\00:37:01.91
nation the right
to govern themselves.
00:37:01.92\00:37:04.19
And for this we go
to our next reference,
00:37:04.77\00:37:07.61
our next reference
which is Ezra chapter 7.
00:37:08.84\00:37:12.62
Ezra chapter 7. So we're
simply... we're in Daniel,
00:37:13.43\00:37:18.14
so let's see
Dosung, can you help me?
00:37:18.36\00:37:20.44
Let's just bring
the camera around here;
00:37:20.45\00:37:21.68
can you help me get to
Ezra from the book of Daniel,
00:37:21.93\00:37:24.97
which direction
do I need to turn?
00:37:24.98\00:37:26.44
Those of you at home see
just, those of you at home
00:37:30.91\00:37:32.69
see his lips moving
that's probably because he's
00:37:32.70\00:37:34.45
singing the song, his
mom taught him when he was a
00:37:34.46\00:37:36.60
baby, right? Ah, so,
Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job,
00:37:36.61\00:37:41.91
Psalms. How many of
us know where Psalms is?
00:37:41.92\00:37:44.09
We know where Psalms is,
so we're going to back up
00:37:44.20\00:37:46.40
to what direction
from Daniel? To the left.
00:37:46.41\00:37:48.34
To the left, that's right.
So we're backing up to the left,
00:37:48.81\00:37:51.72
I see Psalms and you said
it's before psalms, right?
00:37:52.05\00:37:54.41
All right, Ezra, Nehemiah,
Esther, Job, so remember
00:37:55.27\00:37:59.63
when you're giving this study,
00:37:59.64\00:38:00.71
you'll have to help
people find these books.
00:38:01.06\00:38:03.63
Some of these smaller books are,
00:38:03.64\00:38:06.22
I don't want to say difficult
to find but they are fun
00:38:06.50\00:38:08.89
to find, how about
that? And Dosung right now,
00:38:08.90\00:38:11.21
is having lots of fun,
he just keeps going back and
00:38:11.22\00:38:12.95
forth in Bible,
he's having lots of fun,
00:38:12.96\00:38:14.32
he is smiling. All right,
Ezra chapter 7 and verse 7.
00:38:14.33\00:38:19.45
And Dosung, if wouldn't
mind going ahead and reading
00:38:19.46\00:38:21.09
this for us. And this
microphone is different from
00:38:21.10\00:38:24.21
the last one we had. So,
if you just put that almost
00:38:24.22\00:38:26.44
under your chin, not
right in front of your mouth
00:38:26.45\00:38:28.19
because it will pop
from the breath coming out of
00:38:28.20\00:38:29.92
your mouth. So put
it down just a hair,
00:38:29.93\00:38:32.12
a little here
more, there you go,
00:38:33.09\00:38:34.76
right there, perfect.
"And there went up some of
00:38:34.77\00:38:38.39
the children of
Israel, and of the priests,
00:38:38.40\00:38:41.02
and the Levites, and the
singers, and the porters,
00:38:41.03\00:38:44.68
and the
Nethinims unto Jerusalem,
00:38:45.39\00:38:48.18
in the seventh year
of Artaxerxes the King."
00:38:48.44\00:38:52.12
Artaxerxes, the King. You
know it's interesting also
00:38:52.35\00:38:55.82
when you give this Bible
study. Everybody messes up
00:38:55.83\00:38:58.92
the name Artaxerxes.
So let's rehearse it.
00:38:59.40\00:39:01.97
Those of you that are
watching at home you just go
00:39:01.98\00:39:03.46
and rehearse it with
us. And we're gonna say,
00:39:03.47\00:39:05.50
Arta Xerxes, you
ready we'll say down three.
00:39:05.56\00:39:07.87
Three or one, three,
two, one. Arta Xerxes.
00:39:07.88\00:39:12.19
Okay, now let's see if you
can say it? Put the microphone
00:39:12.69\00:39:14.52
and tell me, can you say it?
00:39:14.53\00:39:15.68
Artaxerxes.
Artaxerxes, there you go,
00:39:17.49\00:39:19.29
there you have it. So,
notice verse 7 Ezra chapter 7
00:39:19.62\00:39:22.69
verse 7. What we're trying
to pull out of this text is,
00:39:22.70\00:39:26.33
what was the year
that the command to restore
00:39:26.45\00:39:30.71
and build
Jerusalem when into effect?
00:39:30.72\00:39:33.66
When did it happen? The
Bible says here in verse 7,
00:39:34.06\00:39:37.30
that there went up some
of the children of Israel,
00:39:37.86\00:39:39.79
and of the
priests, and of the Levites,
00:39:40.14\00:39:41.89
and of the porters, and
the Nethinims unto Jerusalem,
00:39:42.10\00:39:45.61
in the seventh year
of Artaxerxes the King.
00:39:45.76\00:39:49.58
You remember, you know
that when they were doing
00:39:50.83\00:39:52.91
time in the Bible they
didn't say 3 B.C, or 486 B.C.
00:39:52.99\00:39:59.64
They reckoned the time
period according to the reign
00:39:59.95\00:40:03.07
of Kings. And the Bible
says here that it was in the
00:40:03.08\00:40:07.50
seventh year of the
reign of Artaxerxes the King.
00:40:07.51\00:40:10.69
Now Artaxerxes is
going to write a letter,
00:40:10.97\00:40:13.17
he's going to give
that letter to Ezra.
00:40:13.68\00:40:17.18
And we're gonna
pick up here in verse 11.
00:40:17.98\00:40:19.85
You notice on our graphic there,
00:40:19.86\00:40:21.54
we're going to verse 11
and then if you read verses 12
00:40:21.87\00:40:25.62
through 26, you can read the
entire letter that Artaxerxes
00:40:25.63\00:40:30.34
wrote and gave to Ezra.
So, again we're just reading
00:40:30.65\00:40:35.43
the parts that we mean
to read for this particular
00:40:35.44\00:40:38.43
Bible study. So that we
can help out the person who
00:40:38.44\00:40:40.81
were studying the Bible
with understand that it was
00:40:40.82\00:40:46.12
the seventh year of the
reign of Artaxerxes the King,
00:40:46.13\00:40:48.74
when the command was
given to restore and build
00:40:48.95\00:40:51.44
Jerusalem. And it's
written right here in scripture.
00:40:51.45\00:40:53.35
So, now let's go to verse
11. And who'd like to read
00:40:53.85\00:40:57.37
verse 11 for us? Let's go
back over to this section.
00:40:57.38\00:41:00.55
Who is gonna
read verse 11 for us?
00:41:00.56\00:41:02.18
Ah, and she's got a
microphone already in her hands,
00:41:02.79\00:41:04.78
so Darlene, can
you read verse 11?
00:41:04.79\00:41:07.03
"This is the copy of the
letter the King Artaxerxes
00:41:08.50\00:41:11.45
gave to Ezra the priest,
describe, expert in the words
00:41:11.46\00:41:15.97
of the commands of the
Lord, and of his statutes
00:41:15.99\00:41:19.45
to Israel." Okay, so if
again, if we would to read
00:41:19.46\00:41:22.62
verses 12 all the
way through to verse 26,
00:41:22.63\00:41:25.48
we would read the
letter that is recorded here
00:41:25.62\00:41:28.51
by Ezra. We are not
going to take the time during
00:41:28.52\00:41:32.05
this class or during this study
to read that entire letter.
00:41:32.06\00:41:35.26
But we're going to go to
the part where King Artaxerxes
00:41:35.78\00:41:41.28
tells Ezra that the
Israelite nation can govern,
00:41:41.34\00:41:45.87
excuse me, can govern
themselves and write their
00:41:46.47\00:41:49.46
own laws, and
enforce their own laws.
00:41:49.47\00:41:51.90
Now, when I'm giving
this Bible study one of the
00:41:52.34\00:41:54.09
things that I point out
right now during the study is,
00:41:54.10\00:41:57.39
who was it that
hung Jesus on the Cross?
00:41:58.30\00:42:00.89
The Romans did,
that's absolutely right.
00:42:03.38\00:42:05.53
Why didn't the Jews do
it? Why couldn't they, Anita?
00:42:05.54\00:42:10.22
They were under Roman rule.
00:42:12.20\00:42:13.27
They were under Roman
rule, that's absolutely right.
00:42:13.28\00:42:14.42
So we're gonna see here
that Artaxerxes tells Ezra
00:42:14.77\00:42:18.57
you guys can go back,
you can write your own laws,
00:42:18.58\00:42:21.56
you can enforce your own
laws, you can banish people,
00:42:21.77\00:42:24.63
you can do whatever you
want to, go back home and
00:42:24.76\00:42:27.83
do this. So we're gonna
read verses 24 through 26,
00:42:27.84\00:42:33.25
verse 24 through
to 26. And maybe Tom,
00:42:33.26\00:42:37.50
Tom can you read this for
us? We're in Ezra chapter 7
00:42:37.51\00:42:40.87
verse 24 through to 26.
And just hold that mic a
00:42:40.88\00:42:44.93
little bit down under
your chin, there you are.
00:42:44.94\00:42:46.86
"Also we inform you that
it shall not be lawful to
00:42:48.17\00:42:51.44
impose tax, tribute or
custom on any of the priests,
00:42:51.45\00:42:56.61
Levites, singers, gate
keepers, Nethinim, or servants
00:42:57.16\00:43:01.86
of this house of God.
And you Ezra according to
00:43:01.87\00:43:06.42
your God given wisdom
set magistrates and judges,
00:43:06.43\00:43:09.91
who may judge all the
people who are in the region
00:43:09.92\00:43:13.26
beyond the river. All
such as know the laws of your
00:43:13.27\00:43:16.81
God and teach them
those who do not know them."
00:43:16.82\00:43:20.11
Okay, stop right there Tom,
we're not finished with this
00:43:20.12\00:43:22.27
passage, 'cause you've
got one more text to read
00:43:22.28\00:43:24.34
but what there in verse
25, does Artaxerxes tell Ezra,
00:43:24.52\00:43:29.18
what does he tell him?
Set magistrates and judges
00:43:30.08\00:43:33.24
over the people. That's
right, you can set magistrates
00:43:33.25\00:43:36.06
and judges over the people
which may judge all the people,
00:43:36.07\00:43:40.11
all such as know
the laws of thy God,
00:43:40.73\00:43:43.01
and teach ye them
that know them not, right?
00:43:43.39\00:43:45.65
Now read the verse 26 for us.
00:43:45.66\00:43:47.36
"Whoever will not
observe the law of your God and
00:43:48.16\00:43:50.84
the law of the King,
let judgment be executed
00:43:50.85\00:43:54.20
speedily on him,
whether it would be death,
00:43:54.30\00:43:57.38
or banishment, or
confiscation of goods,
00:43:57.62\00:44:00.61
or imprisonment." So
here we see that Ezra has
00:44:00.62\00:44:05.05
given a letter by King
Artaxerxes. It's in the
00:44:05.06\00:44:08.45
seventh year of the
reign of Artaxerxes, the King.
00:44:08.55\00:44:12.41
Artaxerxes, the King in
the seventh year of his reign
00:44:13.37\00:44:16.17
tells Ezra that he can
take people back to Jerusalem,
00:44:16.51\00:44:20.25
set up magistrates and judges.
00:44:20.82\00:44:22.82
And if people aren't willing
to follow the laws of God
00:44:23.10\00:44:25.50
and the laws of the
King, then those people,
00:44:25.51\00:44:28.43
the Jewish nation has the
right to in verse 26 that let
00:44:29.62\00:44:33.46
judgment be
executed speedily up on them,
00:44:33.47\00:44:35.58
whether it would be onto
death, or unto banishment,
00:44:35.94\00:44:39.71
or to confiscation of
goods, or to imprisonment.
00:44:40.05\00:44:44.30
So what we find here in
Ezra chapter 7 verses 7:11,
00:44:44.87\00:44:48.72
24 through 26, is Artaxerxes
telling Ezra you can go back
00:44:48.78\00:44:54.14
home and set all of this
up so that the your nation
00:44:54.15\00:44:58.19
can govern itself. He gave
them the full right of what
00:44:58.54\00:45:02.79
we call autonomy, and we
have been already over that.
00:45:02.80\00:45:05.47
So, we're gonna go
back to our graphic.
00:45:05.61\00:45:07.50
The graphic that I told you
earlier is going to be filled
00:45:08.15\00:45:11.38
up so we are going back
to our graphic that is going
00:45:11.39\00:45:15.13
to be filled up. So, the
Bible says here 70 weeks are
00:45:15.54\00:45:20.59
determined. Now you tell
me 70 weeks is the same as
00:45:20.60\00:45:24.13
what 490 prophetic
days that's right Tom,
00:45:24.14\00:45:28.59
490 prophetic days is
same as 490 literal years.
00:45:29.26\00:45:35.39
Then the Bible says
"Know therefore and understand
00:45:36.20\00:45:38.98
that from the
commandment to restore and build
00:45:38.99\00:45:42.42
Jerusalem unto Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks,
00:45:42.43\00:45:47.13
and three score and two
weeks, which is how many weeks.
00:45:47.71\00:45:50.63
69 weeks. Now let just
do the Math, does anybody
00:45:51.41\00:45:54.52
have a calculator you
all, most of you have Apple
00:45:54.53\00:45:56.29
computers in here. All you
got do is hit that control,
00:45:56.72\00:45:59.02
and not the control,
but the thing, the command
00:45:59.03\00:46:02.43
button and your spacebar
type calc and then it will
00:46:02.44\00:46:06.05
open calculator.
Somebody do the math for me.
00:46:06.06\00:46:08.36
Do the math for me. 69
weeks prophetic weeks times
00:46:08.94\00:46:14.49
7 days per week. How
many years does that give us?
00:46:14.50\00:46:17.08
483. 483 you are absolutely
right. 483, so 7 weeks
00:46:19.51\00:46:25.56
plus 62 weeks is 69
weeks from the command to
00:46:26.37\00:46:30.41
restore and build Jerusalem
unto Messiah the Prince,
00:46:30.42\00:46:33.23
or 483 prophetic days which
is same as 483 literal years.
00:46:33.24\00:46:40.95
So, 483 literal years from
the 7th year of the reign of
00:46:41.62\00:46:46.94
Artaxerxes the King. One
of the must well established
00:46:46.95\00:46:50.11
dates in history is the 7th
year of the reign of Artaxerxes
00:46:50.12\00:46:53.73
the King. And that was
457BC. Now this command
00:46:53.74\00:46:59.42
did not go into effect until
the fall of 457 BC that will
00:46:59.43\00:47:05.43
become very important as
we continue in this Bible
00:47:05.44\00:47:09.25
study to note that the
command went into effect in the
00:47:09.26\00:47:13.82
fall of 457 BC. So
let's just do some Math,
00:47:13.92\00:47:20.65
before we do, another
review. Because you've got
00:47:20.68\00:47:23.87
to get this in your mind,
this is probably one of the
00:47:23.88\00:47:26.69
most misunderstood
Bible prophecies in scripture.
00:47:26.70\00:47:31.55
And when you get out
there and you are giving
00:47:32.11\00:47:34.22
these Bible studies to people
or maybe even you yourself
00:47:34.23\00:47:37.28
are thinking this means
something other than what we're
00:47:37.29\00:47:39.20
going over here today.
But I want you to note that
00:47:39.21\00:47:41.89
every time we do
something in this study,
00:47:41.97\00:47:44.41
we have a Bible
reference to back it up.
00:47:44.69\00:47:47.92
As long as you have
a thus saith the Lord,
00:47:48.89\00:47:51.05
for what you're teaching,
you can know that what you
00:47:51.06\00:47:53.70
are teaching is true.
But we must be careful
00:47:53.71\00:47:57.79
because even Peter said
about Paul's writings that
00:47:58.05\00:48:00.84
some of those could be
rested to our own destruction.
00:48:00.85\00:48:04.16
So we have to not only
understand what we are teaching,
00:48:04.45\00:48:08.33
but we have to rightly divide
the word of truth as well.
00:48:08.51\00:48:11.28
I remember Bill was telling
me that somebody kept telling
00:48:11.29\00:48:14.19
him he had... No, it was
you Mike, that somebody had
00:48:14.20\00:48:16.46
kept telling you well that's
not rightly divided in the word
00:48:16.86\00:48:19.17
the truth when their
understanding didn't drive with
00:48:19.18\00:48:22.59
what scripture was saying.
So, we're gonna do this back
00:48:22.60\00:48:26.16
on our graphic. You see
they are in the middle we have
00:48:26.17\00:48:28.08
483 literal years, somebody
tell me how I got that number,
00:48:28.09\00:48:32.06
how did I get 483 literal
years pick the microphone up
00:48:32.39\00:48:36.15
and tell me? 483
literal years came from what?
00:48:36.16\00:48:40.19
Mike has a microphone.
From taking the 7 weeks in the
00:48:40.20\00:48:43.10
62 weeks and coming up
with 69 weeks and then just
00:48:43.11\00:48:46.22
multiplying that
time 7 days in a week.
00:48:46.23\00:48:48.65
That's absolutely
right, 43, absolutely right.
00:48:48.95\00:48:51.33
So we have 483 literal
years and 457 BC you know
00:48:51.72\00:48:57.53
how could I explain that I will
explain on the next couple of
00:48:58.22\00:49:00.39
graphics from now. But
we are simply gonna take 483
00:49:00.40\00:49:03.24
literal years and we are
going to subtract 457 BC.
00:49:03.25\00:49:07.16
That is going to
give us the fall of 26 AD.
00:49:08.00\00:49:12.26
Does everybody
understand how we did that?
00:49:14.26\00:49:15.83
We simply took
the bigger number,
00:49:16.69\00:49:18.50
which was 483 and we
subtracted the smaller number
00:49:18.74\00:49:23.88
which is 457 BC. Does
everybody understand that?
00:49:24.15\00:49:28.79
Continue with me. I
have a question real quick.
00:49:30.42\00:49:32.57
Okay, pick up the microphone
and ask me that question.
00:49:32.58\00:49:34.76
And keep the
microphone under your chin.
00:49:35.72\00:49:36.97
Okay, there you go.
Alright. In case somebody asks,
00:49:37.17\00:49:40.31
can anybody look that up
anytime to find out that the
00:49:40.98\00:49:44.10
7th year of the reign of
King Artaxerxes was in fact
00:49:44.11\00:49:46.86
in the fall of 457 B.C?
Absolutely brother. Okay.
00:49:46.87\00:49:50.33
How do you, what
makes you think that I am so
00:49:50.48\00:49:52.25
confident to tell you
that. Because I looked it up.
00:49:52.26\00:49:54.93
Its 457 BC. Good. 457 BC.
Very good question, awesome.
00:49:55.67\00:50:00.38
Just in case somebody
said that, yeah pick that
00:50:00.39\00:50:01.99
microphone up. I will
just gonna say you can actually
00:50:02.00\00:50:05.77
punch in 457 BC in Google. Okay.
00:50:06.29\00:50:09.23
And it will bring up
that happened in 457 BC.
00:50:09.39\00:50:13.21
Well there you go. Not that
Google gets everything right,
00:50:13.97\00:50:16.36
but Praise the
Lord for that, right.
00:50:16.37\00:50:18.08
So, we took the 483 literal
years that we've got from
00:50:18.57\00:50:21.95
the 69 prophetic weeks
and we simply subtracted
00:50:21.96\00:50:25.09
457 BC from that and that
brings us to the fall of 26 AD.
00:50:25.10\00:50:29.36
But it really doesn't
bring us to the fall of 26 AD,
00:50:30.56\00:50:33.12
and I will tell you
why? And I will tell you why
00:50:33.70\00:50:35.50
right now. You will
notice on the screen here that
00:50:35.51\00:50:37.36
there is no zero
year on the calendar.
00:50:37.37\00:50:40.31
There is no zero
year on the calendar.
00:50:40.78\00:50:42.61
The simple math that we
did, thought that there was a
00:50:42.96\00:50:46.24
zero place holder when
we got from negative one
00:50:46.25\00:50:50.11
negative two, zero, one,
two, three you follow that.
00:50:50.41\00:50:55.80
Now our math our calculators
thought that there was
00:50:56.68\00:50:59.39
a zero at that place holder.
But since there is no zero year,
00:50:59.40\00:51:02.66
this doesn't take us through
the fall of 26 AD it takes
00:51:02.84\00:51:05.38
us to the fall of 27 AD.
And I've got another graphic
00:51:05.39\00:51:10.37
here that will illustrate
that just a little bit better.
00:51:10.38\00:51:13.11
483 years from the
Fall of 457 BC takes us to,
00:51:14.36\00:51:20.00
so we've got the Fall
of 457 BC takes us to the
00:51:20.26\00:51:23.11
Fall of 26 no, no, no, it
takes us to the Fall of 27 why?
00:51:23.12\00:51:26.55
Because there is no
zero year on the calendar.
00:51:26.79\00:51:29.43
And this is the way you
could illustrate this when
00:51:30.10\00:51:32.54
you're drawing out this
graphic. Its amazing when
00:51:32.55\00:51:35.47
I give this Bible study
always take three to five sheets
00:51:35.48\00:51:38.90
of paper with me.
Because I know that I am gonna
00:51:38.91\00:51:41.83
have 70 weeks over
here, 69 weeks over here I am
00:51:41.84\00:51:45.10
gonna have the math
delineated for people to see.
00:51:45.11\00:51:47.57
And then I am
actually gonna right this out,
00:51:47.78\00:51:49.53
there is no zero year.
And a lot of times people are
00:51:49.54\00:51:53.07
like well I don't
understand, I don't understand?
00:51:53.08\00:51:55.96
Why if simple math
takes us to 26, are you now
00:51:55.97\00:51:58.75
saying its 27? I
just don't understand.
00:51:58.76\00:52:00.94
So you actually
have to write this out.
00:52:01.33\00:52:02.66
I usually start with 457
BC is followed by what year?
00:52:02.99\00:52:07.99
455 BC. 455 BC is
followed by what year?
00:52:09.28\00:52:19.04
454 BC. 454 BC is
followed by what? 453. 453.
00:52:19.53\00:52:25.18
And you can imagine how
long that would take if we
00:52:25.32\00:52:27.17
went all the way down.
But you got to start in 457
00:52:27.18\00:52:30.80
so the people you're
giving the Bible study to,
00:52:30.81\00:52:32.41
can actually find the
pattern and follow it.
00:52:32.42\00:52:34.62
And so then you just
simple say, we're gonna fast
00:52:34.92\00:52:37.59
forward now to 3 BC. 3
BC is followed by what year?
00:52:37.60\00:52:42.76
2 BC. 2 BC. 2 BC is
followed by what year?
00:52:43.64\00:52:46.89
1 BC. 1BC. 1 BC is
followed by what year?
00:52:47.39\00:52:50.60
180. 180 that's right
there is no zero AD or BC zero.
00:52:51.08\00:52:57.31
There was none of that.
So, when we do our math,
00:52:58.11\00:53:01.08
it takes us short
to the Fall of 26 AD,
00:53:01.09\00:53:03.68
but we have to take that
place holder and this is key
00:53:04.55\00:53:07.54
to you Mrs. Gloria, because
you're a Math teacher, right.
00:53:07.55\00:53:09.63
I mean you will understand
the zero place holder stuff,
00:53:10.02\00:53:11.90
I was just told about it
but you really understand on
00:53:11.91\00:53:14.04
this stuff. Zero AD we
simply take that place holder
00:53:14.05\00:53:17.76
which should be
one place, right.
00:53:17.77\00:53:19.19
That would be one place
and we take this one place
00:53:19.74\00:53:22.51
and we add it to the Fall
of 26 AD and it takes us to the
00:53:22.52\00:53:26.44
Fall of 27 AD. Takes us to
the fall of what? 27. 27AD.
00:53:26.45\00:53:34.00
Now, I am just gonna
review everything that we've
00:53:34.93\00:53:40.13
just reviewed. So that
when you give this Bible study
00:53:40.14\00:53:44.79
you will be saying
yourself I remember Pastor Scott
00:53:45.15\00:53:47.84
reviewing that so many times
and it just got on my nerves,
00:53:47.85\00:53:50.90
but I am so glad he did it
because I can explain it now.
00:53:51.18\00:53:53.94
70 weeks, where did
we get the 70 weeks from?
00:53:55.17\00:53:58.50
From the Bible.
Okay, where in the Bible?
00:53:59.47\00:54:00.66
Of course we got it from the
Bible because we are studying
00:54:00.67\00:54:02.49
the Bible. Daniel
9:20, Daniel 9:20 what? 4. 4.
00:54:02.50\00:54:07.27
Daniel 9:24 says 70
weeks are determined what is
00:54:07.28\00:54:11.20
the word determined mean?
Cut off. Cut off or amputate.
00:54:11.21\00:54:15.24
70 weeks are cut off or
amputated from a larger time
00:54:15.91\00:54:20.81
prophecy. Where do we
find that larger time prophecy?
00:54:20.82\00:54:24.01
In Daniel chapter 8,
that's absolutely right Tom.
00:54:24.93\00:54:27.25
So, 70 weeks are cut
off 70 weeks times 7 days
00:54:27.69\00:54:34.87
per week gives us
490 prophetic days.
00:54:34.88\00:54:40.30
490 prophetic days is
the same as what Mrs. Gloria,
00:54:41.27\00:54:45.76
490 prophetic days is the
same as? 490 literal years,
00:54:45.77\00:54:49.64
490 literal years. So,
when did that 490 literal
00:54:49.65\00:54:55.34
years begin? Gabriel
tells Daniel no therefore and
00:54:55.35\00:54:59.84
understand that from the
going fourth of the command
00:54:59.85\00:55:03.15
to restore and build
Jerusalem unto Messiah,
00:55:03.16\00:55:09.18
the Prince, know therefore
and understand that from
00:55:09.19\00:55:12.22
the command to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:55:12.23\00:55:14.89
So that's where our
time prophecy begins.
00:55:14.97\00:55:17.75
That's where our 70
weeks now prophetic time or
00:55:18.09\00:55:21.13
our 490 prophetic days or
our 490 literal years begin.
00:55:21.14\00:55:25.84
Now therefore and
understand from going forth of
00:55:26.83\00:55:28.52
the command to restore
and build Jerusalem unto
00:55:28.53\00:55:31.57
Messiah the Prince
shall be 7 weeks and 62 weeks
00:55:31.58\00:55:36.69
for total of how many
weeks. 69 weeks. 69 weeks.
00:55:36.70\00:55:39.46
Again we just
do the simple math.
00:55:39.47\00:55:41.82
The simple math tells us
it's 69 prophetic weeks is the
00:55:42.42\00:55:45.64
same as 483 literal years.
So, we go 483 literal years
00:55:45.65\00:55:53.11
from the command to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:55:53.12\00:55:55.17
So when did the command to
restore and build Jerusalem
00:55:55.43\00:55:57.54
go out. We found that
in Ezra Chapter 7 verses 7,
00:55:57.55\00:56:01.08
11, 24 through 26 that
Artaxerxes the King gives Ezra
00:56:01.09\00:56:06.48
a letter telling Ezra in
his 7th, in Artaxerxes 7th year
00:56:06.59\00:56:10.95
of reign. Telling Ezra
that he can take his people back
00:56:10.96\00:56:13.80
to Jerusalem, not
only to live there,
00:56:14.21\00:56:16.67
but to restore it
and to rebuild it,
00:56:16.91\00:56:19.27
and not just to restore,
but so that they could govern
00:56:19.78\00:56:22.89
themselves. The 7th year
of reign of the Artaxerxes
00:56:23.06\00:56:26.28
the King was in
the fall of 457 BC.
00:56:26.29\00:56:30.73
So we just count forward
483 literal years from 457 BC,
00:56:30.74\00:56:36.78
simple math takes us
to the fall of 26 AD.
00:56:37.02\00:56:39.79
But we say hey wait a
minute there is no zero year.
00:56:39.93\00:56:43.09
So it doesn't take us to the 26,
00:56:43.30\00:56:45.14
it takes us to
the what? To the 27th,
00:56:45.31\00:56:48.16
because there was
no, what on the calendar?
00:56:48.17\00:56:50.16
Zero. There is no
zero year on the calendar.
00:56:50.17\00:56:54.48
Now those of you that
are here in the classroom
00:56:54.91\00:56:56.65
you have access to our
server and you can just go
00:56:56.66\00:56:59.54
to the server you can
download these graphics like
00:56:59.55\00:57:01.75
I said those of you that
have PCs that will be available
00:57:01.76\00:57:04.49
on there as well. You
just have to give me a moment
00:57:04.50\00:57:06.76
to make sure that
happens and you are gonna be
00:57:06.77\00:57:09.91
able to look at these graphics,
00:57:09.92\00:57:11.19
we are gonna be able to
understand them and then
00:57:11.20\00:57:13.35
you're gonna be
able to explain them.
00:57:13.36\00:57:15.13
So, we wanna make sure that,
00:57:15.47\00:57:16.52
you here in the classroom
download that from the server
00:57:16.72\00:57:19.01
we also wanna make sure
that those of you that are
00:57:19.24\00:57:21.06
at home, that are
watching this with us.
00:57:21.07\00:57:22.91
This is the conclusion of
this program and we're gonna
00:57:23.49\00:57:25.84
pick up and we're gonna
finish this Bible study in our
00:57:26.08\00:57:29.34
next program. So those of
you that are tuning in maybe,
00:57:29.35\00:57:33.06
you are on one of the
big networks we are just glad
00:57:33.07\00:57:34.86
you are here. We are looking
forward to seeing you here
00:57:34.87\00:57:37.34
at Pine Lake
Retreat with us again.
00:57:37.35\00:57:38.86
And we just wanna say God Bless
you and we'll see you soon.
